Has no one mentioned Southern Culture on the Skids, or did I just miss it?

Andy Tetmeyer (I work at HED)

I forgot to mention:



Magnetic Fields – House of Tomorrow



Magnetic Fields – 69 Love Songs



The Faint – Dance Macabre

Melt Banana are awesome.

Have a look for Grandmaster Gareth - Minute Melodies.

"Language most shows a man: Speak, that I may see thee. It springs out of the most retired and inmost parts of us, and is the image of the parents of it, the mind. No glass so mirrors a man's form or likeness so true as his speech." - Ben Jonson, Timber, or Discoveries made upon Men and Matter.

The band that Crowded House admired- Blue Rodeo, Wilco with even more talent

arent melt banana a japanese grind band? or are they powerviolence or whatever the genre is.

A few more I though about this morning:

Ugly Kid Joe - America's Least Wanted (yeah yeah, I know, the "I hate everything about you" guys, but the album rocks! Kind of a greatest hits collection)

Gipsy Kings - ANY ALBUM BY THEM (I listen to them when I bike, run, clean, program, cook, play video games....they are good for any activity)

Chris Cornell - Euphoria Morning (his solo album, its awesome!)

I just call it noise rock. I love it to pieces.

Alan Pollard "See it for What it is" An almost unknown singer/songwriter from Pennsylvania who sings about love and loss. I guarantee you'll be humming these songs after one listen.

"Gravedigger, when you dig my grave could you make it shallow? So that I can feel the rain."

vintage 1980's, I was wondering if I could find it cause it was just great

Hooters..."Amore"

The album before the album, so to speak...

"Maybe you should just run faster..." TM

Gypsy Kings...yeah baby...ole! Probably one of the most heard/unheard of bands going..likely just about everyone has heard their stuff

That is the perfect description of them Kentiger!

If there is a world record for most songs in movies, commercials, promos, tv shows....Gipsy Kings would have it!

Interesting fact I just found out about them...I always though the lyrics were some wierd spanish, but I guess its actual a dialect that the gispsys in France (where they are apparently really from) that they are singing in. Cool useless trivia at its best

Let's not forget Man or Astroman?. One of the greatest surf bands ever. Coco the Electronic Monkey Wizard is my god!

I have seen the Astromen as well as their alpha clones. Best show was New Years Eve 1999 at the Middle East in Cambridge, their Y2K show involved blowing up a bunch of computers. Too cool. Southern Culture on the Skids are another great schtick rockabilly act. Anybody know how to walk like a Camel

My vote for best obscure band are the Murder City Devils, great gothabilly band. I actaully got into an argument with the clerk at the Sub Pop store in Seattle he says goth and I say rockabilly, so gothabilly.



Hey Tibbs you ought to check out Coachella. I went last year and it ruled.

"When I first had the opportunity to compete in triathlon, it was the chicks and their skimpy race clothing that drew me in. Everyone was so welcoming and the lifestyle so obviously narcissistic. I fed off of that vain energy. To me it is what the sport is all about."

Was turned on to these guys the other day:

If you liked the Beatles, you'll appreciate this today.....These teen rockers are pretty good.

"I push the envelope so hard it says, 'excuse you'." -MC Paul Barman

I don't think I saw Los Straitjackets (surf rock instrumentalists) or Social Distortion anywhere in the post.



Also, D.A.D., who I hear are (were) big in their home country of Denmark (?), but I never hear anything about here in the U.S. Rumor is they were called DAD for Disneyland After Dark, then were sued and became just DAD. Anybody know the story? Anyhow, "Everything Glows" is one of my favorite albums of all time.

I guess I like anything Elvis Costello, but he's hardly unknown.

Cheers,

Joe

i have been a Social Distortion fan almost since I can remember. Through their various phases, no matter what, those motherfuckers just straight up know how to lay down the rock.

A friend of mine that grew up in O.C. turned me on to them about 7 years ago. I finally saw them live in Phoenix a couple months ago and they are coming to Columbus in Feb, so I have that to look forward to. Which is nice. They do indeed rock.
